These beautifully rolled pearls represent the finest Chinese tea making traditions. The tea itself is small, dark green pearls that are hand rolled and layered with jasmine blossoms for several days. Fresh flowers are brought in each day, until the pearls are infused with fragrance & flavour.
Crafted from spring picked green tea leaves and fresh jasmine blossoms. Each pearl is a tender silvery bud, carefully rolled and dried with jasmine blossoms. When brewed, the pearls unravel, producing a mellow honey flavour with fresh floral tones.
This tea makes a wonderful gift.

Worth it Review by ['Green']
I've tried both the loose jasmine tea and the pearls and found the pearls to have a much more fragrant floral flavor as well as a more delicate pronounced honey note. No muddy taste which can happen with the loose tea a little.

Vancouver has a lot of great tea shops and sellers of quality green teas. I have consistently found Murchies product to be comparable in quality to these sellers. It's my go to place for this product.

I have tried several kinds of dragon pearl jasmine tree over the years. A friend brought me some from her home, Vietnam, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I found that this tea is just as good. I really enjoy it and plan to order some more today.

This is my favorite tea of all time. It is exquisite!
Posted on 2020-03-16not worth the money Review by Mervette
when I bought this tea from Murchies I believed it would be top quality. I tried other jasmine pearls from other merchants and they turned out to be better than these. perhaps the tea I received was old and stale but it definitely would be more worth your money to buy the loose jasmine tea and forget about the pearls.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
